Does anyone know how to factory reset an SD4 ?? The manual is pretty weak on stuff like that.




SD2 and SD4 perform a full reset every time the power switch is cycled.

From the sound of it, you have a rogue Upper Bank command in the MIDI files.

To get the GM bank out of the Ketrons, all you have to do is turn off MSB such that they are at zero for each patch send. LSB doesn't matter as the Ketron does not use it and will ignore any number there. The three Upper Banks available for both synths are MSB values of 1, 2, and 10.

Use of the Patchmap makes the task much easier, allowing you to pick Patches by name or by groups, for instance, all available pianos or all available saxes, etc.

SD4, which is sitting here on my desk and has been purring along with BiaB 2010 since the first beta release, uses the exact same Patchmap as publiched on the PGMusic page for the SD2. Just make sure that BiaB is addressing the MIDIFILE input and not the VOICE input. (The MIDIFILE synth is identical to the SD-2)
